Question about Lardy's CC Video

Some have recommended Lardyís CC video to me even if I were following a different program. Would most of you agree? if Iím using Smartworks or Fowl Dogs is using this video a good idea? At the very least itís not in contrast to the concepts, correct? I would not want to spend that money if I were not going to directly use the techniques taught.

Smartworks has it's own collar and obedience method. I wouldn't suggest to anyone to follow Lardy's cc with Evan's program. Probably an experienced trainer could but I wouldn't recommend it for a newbie.

Howard NiemiYou really gotta be careful about how high a pedestal you put your method, your accomplishments, your dog on. There's usually someone who's done more, somewhere. And they may have used a different method than you did! Chris Atkinson 2013

Fowl Dawgs and Lardy are very similar, I think one would fit into the other pretty seamlessly. Smartworks seems like a different system entirely with different drills, methods and sequences.
